With just one day left until its conclusion, 'The Tyrant's Chef' delivers a rich story until the very end.
In the tvN weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' (directed by Jang Tae-yu, written by fGRD, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Film Greeda and Jung Universe), the romance between French chef Yeon Ji-young (played by Lim Yoona) and the king Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min) with absolute taste is reaching its peak. As the final episode approaches this week, we take a look at the last points of interest.
First, attention is focused on the future of Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon, who have fully entered romance mode. Currently, Yeon Ji-young has fallen into the past through time slip and is developing feelings while getting entangled with the tyrant Lee Heon of that era. In particular, Lee Heon confessed to Yeon Ji-young by putting a ring on her finger, asking her to be his lifelong partner, which brought excitement.
Yeon Ji-young, who had been thinking only of returning to her own world, began to feel that it might be okay not to go back after hearing Lee Heon's confession, suggesting that her heart is leaning towards him. It raises curiosity about whether the two, who met in the same space across time, can continue to nurture their love while living in the same era.
Next, the actions of Kang Mok-joo (played by Kang Han-na) and Je San Daegun (played by Choi Gwi-hwa), who have finally revealed their claws, are drawing attention. Je San Daegun has shown ambition by colluding with the Ming Dynasty to remove the tyrant and restore the court, even engaging in acts that harm the country. Kang Mok-joo, a subordinate of Je San Daegun, has also sparked anger among viewers by looking for opportunities to eliminate Yeon Ji-young, who has captured the king's interest.
Above all, it was revealed that Je San Daegun intercepted records containing the reason for Lee Heon's mother's death and is holding Lee Heon's maternal grandmother, adding to the shock. Through the records and the testimony of his grandmother, they aim to provoke Lee Heon's trauma and lead him to rampage. Curiosity is heightened about whether Lee Heon, trapped in the whirlpool of unavoidable fate, can escape the traps of Kang Mok-joo and Je San Daegun and change his future.
Finally, attention is drawn to the identity of the Manguunrok, which pulled Yeon Ji-young into the past. Yeon Ji-young fell into the past while reading a passage from the ancient book Manguunrok, drawn by an unknown force. As Manguunrok emerges as a strong candidate for the cause of the time slip, it was revealed that the diary Lee Heon was writing was also named Manguunrok, surprising viewers.
Moreover, as soon as Lee Heon named the diary Manguunrok, the original Manguunrok that was in Yeon Ji-young's bag disappeared, hinting at a deep connection between the two books. What is the identity of the Manguunrok that called Yeon Ji-young back to the past? Will Yeon Ji-young be able to find the secret of Manguunrok and return to the world she lived in? All eyes are on this.
With a sweet romance and a spicy power struggle, the tvN weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' is set to wrap up with a variety of fun, like bibimbap, and the 11th episode will air on the 27th at 9:10 PM.
